ESSEC Business School

It is a great university, offering you opportunities to go abroad and teaching you important concepts. The main thing that I will remember from my uni is that I was able to have lots of professional, personal, and societal experiences that I would have never had anywhere else.

I am an ESSEC student since 3 years and I think that the BBA program is very good for people who want to work in management domains just after high-school. The courses are great and very interesting. I like the fact that you can choose what you study. ESSEC business school has one campus in Rabat and one in Singapore which makes it a very international university.

I disliked the experience of this school, it's located in Cergy which is 30-40 mins away from Paris by the RER. Cergy has absolutely nothing to do, there is a big mall and a lake but that's about it. It also gets really dangerous at night. The accommodation is pretty expensive for what it is. The first year, I stayed at the university dorm nearest to my school, and the building itself was really old. Some of the professors are good teachers but it's like some professors assume that all the students know the topic. Technically I had to teach myself a lot during the year and most of the year as well. It's extremely expensive because it is also a private school, but there aren't many international students as well. The students are mostly french, and if you don't know french then you'll have to figure everything out by yourself. I really regret coming here, I expected the education to be better and more organized, expected way more international students and the services provided by the university was not worth it.

I think the best thing about Essec is that it's not focusing on academics rather it emphasizes on future job mindset and professional experiences.. The classes are interesting and we have plenty of workshops attributing to different sectors.. The campus is very nice with a good cafe and wonderful library. The only problem is the location of the campus. It's quite far from Paris.

ESSEC is a very international university which welcomes from all over the world, with its 3 campuses it is present globally. The things which I would highlight is the quality of the lessons and professors. Courses are taught by professionals or teachers experts in their fields. What I have enjoyed the most are the opportunities offered by the school: there are plenty of conferences, workshops, classes where students can meet professionals and apply for internships/ jobs.
